The 2006 Hikers Competition has been won by Bryan Powell of Onehunga,
Auckland with his entries
below. Bryan, reluctantly I'm sure, recently sold these on trademe to fund
his next project. Fortunately I was the buyer and will retire these to
my Hikers hall of fame. This from the auction "For sale is a standard Hikers 1 and a shortwave Hikers1. Both of these I
made for the recent Radio Club competition and consequently won. The
reason I am selling is to obtain money to buy the parts for next years
challenge which I believe could be a crystal or 1 valve set. To make
these two sets, a bought new in the box (but original) type 49 valves
from America. Also all the rest of the parts are from the 1920/30s for
example the dials, caps and even a glass resistor. Even the on/off
switches and phone jacks are from old 1920/30 radios. The kauri wood
case is from an old battery set. They both work. I will also include my
back board"
